113 - The environment variables definition for the shell is now output in
114 a way that allows to put the generated content directly in the
115 .profile without requiring to launch perl
116 (the only difference is how PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT is generated)
119 1.008007 - 2013-02-17
120 - Back to 1.008004 with Carp fix since subsequent releases were botched

162 1.006007 - 2010-08-12

165 - Documented one method in all languages
167 1.006006 - 2010-08-12
169 - Added portuguese translation

195 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
197 1.006000 - 2010-03-31
199 - Create lib::core::only that provides the "set @INC to core dirs
200 only" functionality that was the only part of --self-contained that
201 ever worked usefully.
202 - Delete broken --self-contained flag from core
204 1.005001 - 2010-03-10
208 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
210 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
211 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
212 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
213 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
215 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
216 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
218 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
221 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
223 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
225 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
227 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue

232 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.

236 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
238 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
239 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
242 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
244 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
247 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
248 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
249 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
250 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
251 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
252 wouldn't work without a directory.
254 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
255 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
256 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
257 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
259 1.004004 - 2009-08-05

266 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
267 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
268 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
269 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
270 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
271 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
272 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
273 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
274 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
276 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
277 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
278 blessed entries. (grink)
279 - Include test in xt/ for the above
281 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
282 archlibexp when self contained.
283 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
284 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
285 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

287 respects it. (confound)
289 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
290 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
291 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
292 programmatically (confound).
294 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
296 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
297 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
298 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
300 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
301 bootstrapping (confound).
303 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
304 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
305 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
307 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
310 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
311 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
312 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
314 1.003002 - 2009-02-25
315 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
316 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
318 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
319 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
320 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
321 in local::lib::import().
323 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
324 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
325 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
327 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
328 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
329 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
331 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
332 - refactored shell command generation
333 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
335 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
337 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
